SINGAPORE, Oct 2 (Bloomberg): Singapore is shortening the quarantine period for travellers entering the city-state and further easing arrival rules for some countries in the latest move to reopen its borders.

Arriving travelers from certain regions will need to spend 10 days in isolation starting Oct. 7, instead of 14 days currently, officials told reporters in a briefing on Saturday. Those quarantine rules apply to so-called category III countries, which will include the U.S. and the U.K. from next week.
